Wembley had been used for the Horse of the Year show, and was in a terrible state!

Yeah, I think we're right; Pelleg...Hi Colin... Yeah, I think we're right; Pellegrini will want to go 'all guns blazing' from the very off and, so, Aguero to start. Huh...it'd be funny if we scored after 3 minutes & 30 seconds and then, as the celebrations die down, 31,000 of us break into, "There's only one Mike Doyle...". That'll leave the goal-scorer scratching his head for a moment...<br /><br />Yep, for the most part Alvaro/Edin just don't 'do it' together do they? Could YOU0 think of a worse combo than Adrian Heath & Wayne Clarke? Of course, at that time, they were being rotated with Clive Allen and others but those 2 jumped straight out at me for some reason. 8- )<br /><br />Great minds indeed! 8- )<br /><br />I know a season card holder at work who can't attend or watch the game due to a family function - hope you get to see most or all of it.<br /><br />Really? Another fellow Blue at work was telling me about the 1974 final recently; apparently they were brushing large amounts of snow off to the side of the pitch? I've got a vinyl LP in reasonable nick of the 1976 League Cup final. I'm gonna dig it out and play it today. I once saw the same record in City's Museum at the Etihad.<br /><br />Thanks as always for reading and commenting!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00803900087812980939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747942134037740707.post-76894060496453190292014-02-28T14:31:47.525-08:002014-02-28T14:31:47.525-08:00Good piece, Steve.
My first thought about Aguero ...Good piece, Steve.<br /><br />My first thought about Aguero was.....bench. However, on second thoughts, he started the season opener against Newcastle without any pre-season preparation, so I think Pellegrini will just go for it.<br /><br />I also think Negredo/Dzeko have misfired lately after a reasonable start as a partnership, irrespective of the opposition.<br /><br />I've picked exactly the same starting XI and bench as you in the City forum competition I'm a member of. Great minds or otherwise, haha!<br /><br />I'll hopefully be watching the game on TV, as I've got a family function to attend, so enjoy the day and the match, and here's to a City win!<br /><br />PS. I did attend the Finals in 1974 and 1976. Colin Is The Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597711067270848502noreply@blogger.com
